. D J 1 l l exence wll be had 9:0 me mcompzyn an @Ee Timm Qian the upperedge of the exterior part so that after the vertical parte of themolding space C is filled with the molding material, the horizontalspace formed hy plates l2 is filled so as to form the bottom of thecasket. Before starting the molding action the mold is placed upon abase 13 which encloses the bottom of the molding space, Af ter the casthas set the mold is turned over so as to expose the interior part of theform. The hooked ends of bars 14 are then inserted in holes 15 formed inthe horizontal bars 5 and the turn buckles 16, which connect the pairsof bars together are rotated to shorten the pairs of bars to contractthe interior part. The turn buckles of the bars which connect the sidesof the form together are first manipulated so as to draw the two sidestowards each other. As will be seen from Figure'Q the cross bars l1 havetheir ends spaced from the plates 4 of the sides so as to permit thismovement of the sides and I place strips 17 of cardboard or the likebetween the abutting surfaces of the corner pieces and side and endpieces to permit moveinentof the side pieces and the wrner pieces. 1twill of course be understood that the pins are removed from the staplesbefore the turn buckles are moved. After this movement of the sides they-can be lifted out and then the turn buckle arrangement for the endpieces can be put in place to draw the end pieces and corner pieces awayfrom' the ends of the molded article. ln order to facilitate thismovement of the end pieces and corner pieces l slightly bevel eachcorner piece, as at 18, so as'to make the ends of the interior part ofthe mold of less length imaooe than the Width of the casket. After theseend pieces have been moved away from the ends of the casket they can beremoved and the cross pieces ll andthe plates l2 can be taken out. theexterior part of the form can then be removed by simply removing thepins to permit the parts to be separated.

This mold will form a casket in one piece with smooth Walls, the upperedgeo which is thickened and provided with an interior as none of theparts thereof are destroyed l in removing the form from the cast.

lt is thought from the foregoing description that the advantages andnovel features of .my invention will be readily apparent.

l desire it to be understood that I 'may make changes in theconstruction and inthe combination and arrangement of the several parte,provided that such changes fallmv'vithin the scope of the appendedclaim.

What claim is A mold of the class described comprising interior andexterior members, each meinber consisting of side and end pieces andcorner pieces, said side and end pieces having recesses therein forreceiving parts ot the corner pieces, lugs at the ends of the side andend pieces and said pieces having notches in their ends adjacent thelugs, staples on the corner pieces engagi said notches and pins forengaging the stap es and resting against the lugs f In testimony whereofTi. aix my si ature.
